Rule the skies in Gunship Battle: Second War

Korean publisher Joycity has taken the best bits of the first Gunship Battle and built on them, giving flight simulator enthusiasts a reason to get excited over this sequel.

Gunship Battle: Second War lets you climb into the cockpit of famous World War 2 fighter planes, including the Spitfire, Warhawk, Hurricane and 17 other faithfully reconstructed gunships. It’s then up to you to undertake various missions set during the post-war 1950s on behalf of the Jade Mercenaries.

Successfully completed missions earn you money, and money can be traded for upgraded weaponry and vehicles to improve your battlefield prowess.

There’s also three in-game events to take part in for this month (09/21 – 10/20) giving you the chance to pick up gold, dollars and special items just by logging in on consecutive days in the ‘Daily Login Event’, or by clearing every episode in the ‘Episode Clear Event’. There’s also 1,000 gold up for grabs after completing the first episode thanks to a coupon code that you'll receive when you download the game.

Players of the first Gunship Battle won’t be surprised by the customisation or gyroscopic controls – but this time round, there’s a neat cockpit mode allowing you to view the mayhem first-person if you prefer. The graphics have also been improved upon, but the developers have still managed to knock off 20MB from the app size - so you won’t have to worry about running out of space on your phone or tablet.

With the original Gunship Battle achieving over 70 million downloads since its initial launch in 2014, Gunship Battle: Second War promises to be a big hit.
